During Their Visit to Butte.
The members Of the American Institute
of Mining Engineers, since their return to
New York, have not been unmindful of the
reception they got in Butte, but have sent
graceful Acknowledgements to several gen.
tlemen here for courtesies received. Among
others are the following:

The presence in the city Of David Marks,
Chief Clerk of the House Of the last ses-
sion Of the legislature, is on account Of
the sad and sudden death of Mr.. Jacobs.
Mr.. Marks has had hard lines in the loss
OF friends, the late Mr.. Abram Sands hav.
ing been included in the list of those near
and dear to him. We would Say for Mr..
Marks that hei 10 one OF the best business
in the whole Territory Of Montana.
To him is due the success of the business
end Of the Helena Independent. He has
kept it up from the time of the change ff-
teen months ago, when the paper wentinto
active and aggressive hands. OF course he
has had some able assistance from the eff
Gent bookkeper, Mr.: Alexander Devine.
but he himself has done the rustling and
brought the business to the paper.

The MILITIA C~OLONELCY.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Grand
Army Herald, OF Helena, is in error in as.
Stunning that W. A. Clark ever aspired to
the Colonelcy Of the Montana Militia. He
is a business man, and is d~evoting his en-
ergies to the development OF the material
resources Of Montana. He is ready, it is
true, with his purse, of which the sordid
Herald is delighted to speak, to promote
the interests of the organization, but has
no aspirations whatever to command the
regiment. The seeking of that sort of no.
toriety is not one of bis frailties. While
he would see the organization de-
velop into the most thorough of any of like
character in any of the Territories and is
ever ready to do his share to the attain
ment OF that end, he sees no honor or emol-
nments for himself. While we have never
exchanged a word with him on the subject.
we feel authorized to say that he has no
other ambition than to see the organiza.
ton a success and q Butte man chosen for
Colonel. For this position he has neverex.
pressed to US even a preference. He is alb
sent from the Territory and cannot
speak for himself. There is one question in
this matter which should be be considered.
and that is that the Governor and Ad-
jotant" General Turner have at heart the
best interests OF the militia service and
they will act advisedly in the matter. If
they shall see fit to withhold Captain Rey-
nolds' commission as colonel, it will be
from consideration of public policy and
will be well weighed. And another fact I
which should o be forgotten is that there
is no politics in the issues involved. The
majority Of the regimental officers are Re.
publicans and no question is raised against
them. They are all regarded as good mer
Tor their respective places and no objections
laid against them by their political on.
p~onents. We hope therefore that the
aspect of the di custom will be
dropped. 1t is unjust and not warranted
BY any of the facts involved in the c~optro.
versy.

1t was a matter Of confessed surprise on
the part OF the passengers from Butte to
the opening OF the Pacific hotel at the Ida
no natural mineral springs, that the Utah
& Northern, the gauge of which was changed
in half a day for 246 miles, should be so
safe and smooth. Splendid time was made
or the outgoing and return trip, and not a
complaint vas heard from any OF the
guests as to comfort or time. It would
seem in this age Of modern railway
management that every detail had been re.
duced to an exact science, 80 swift and sure
of execution is any new plan laid for the
betterment of a given service. And the
time is coming when the change in gauge of
the management OF the Montana Union will
be made on a schedule OF time that will
surprise the shrewdest railway manag-
ers of the country outside of the Union
and Northern Pacific.

Our esteemed contemporaries at Helena
seem to have no appreciation Of the rules
OF hospitality which govern q great city
like Butte. The fact that the Walkerville
boys gave them the late base ball game as
a matter OF courtesy, instead Of being ap-
preciated, is used as a text OF undue ex.
ultation on their part. This will impose
upon the Walkerville boys the duty of
waxing the Helenaites OF the third game,
which will be the rubber, and ought to be
played on neutral grounds, SO that cour-
tesy may not be further consisted. We
know that we have the brain and Drawn
to beat any base ball club in the Territory
when considerations of courtesy are
waived. II VAUDEVILLE won't do the
Helena gang up, Butte will take the matter
in hand and perform that solemn duty
according to Hoyle or any authority that
may be agreed upon.

they will but harken to tho cal Of friends.
The new hotel furnishes al of the
comforts Of life in Any metropolis
OF the land, while the adjacent
country will furnish the attractions. And
long lost health may be lured forth again
by the healing waters which bubble up like
q blessing from below when We are looking
for it from above. It il true that it 10
three hundred miles from Butte, but dis
lance should not he measured by the stan.
dard of health. comfort and enjoyment in
this brief life. We predict for this new re-
sort a future Of prosperity not enjoyed by
any health and pleasure place in the
West.

The Police Court.

Jack Dow was iued 81 and costs on
Tuesday evening for being drunk and asleep
on the premises of one Rodgers without
bis assent, and not having the wherewithal
stood committed in default, T. W. Nor
gan had a row at 404 Wyoming street, in
which he INDUCED in some choice Billings
gate, for which he was assessed SIS and costs
yesterday. Tom Smith loaded up with
fighting whiskey and tackled John Doe at
saloon On Park street, accom-.
panying the proceeding with a varied u.s.
of epithets, for which he paid SIS
costs. John Emery contributed 81
and costs for misbehaving himself on Main
street. George Simmons made the neigh
borhood OF Main and Galena blue with
epithets, directed at Kate Shan
non, and cancelled the offence by pungling
IS and costs.

Miss Nellie Bailey, who is now here selling
a book embodying the romantic history OF
her life in Kansas, is a worthy young VIC.
man who has suffered severely and who is
entitled to the consideration of the public.
Her life has been a marvellous one and
whatsoever may turn the pages of this his.
tory can but be impressed with it's vicissi.
tudes. Having thoroughly investigated
her claims upon the public We are thor
oughly impressed with the veracity of her
business motive OF her life. We trust there
fore that the public will give he her the con.
sideratiOn Of q lady in distress.

Jim Smith and Jack Killrain will fight
to a finish for the diamond belt for
the championship Of the world in Spain on
January 3rd. This arrangement would
seem to ignore the claims of John l..
Sullivan to be the champion ~slugger. But
there will be no question as to his holding
the belt as the boss bruiser of the PROBES
sion. When it comes to q setto between
himself and his own much abused little wife
or a small boy on the street. nobody will
contest his championship.

If the Boulanger-F Ferry duel could only
be so arranged that one or the other should
be killed before hostilities should cease.
the public might bear the affection with
that equanimity which is SO characteristic
OF the popular sacrifice for public good.
But there is one satisfaction in the pro-
posed meeting, and that is that pistols at
short range are o deadly thar rapiers.
which may mean misery, but not death to
either of the combatants.

The use Of Maj. Werlitz's name as an ex-
pert OF the Anaconda Company was what
we believed when first announced,
unauthorized and a gross injustice to him.
We are assured on authority from St.
Louis that it was a mistake for which the
major was not responsible. We believe the
major to be a high-minded gentleman who
would not leud his good name to the base
uses of mine manipulators, and his own
frank disav"wal OF being a party to any
deception will be accepted in the
ity where he is so we'll known.

young Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal

day morning and will be entertained dur.

A. H. Barrett. From a New York maya

quite a young man for the place he holdsi in

at Contra; College OF the same State,
at Wesleyan University in 1867,
and at Union Theological Seminary, New
York, in 1859. He has been pastor OF

The long strike in THERON manufactures,
which We had hoped had happily been
terminated, has taken new shape on fresh
complications, and serious fears are now
entertained that the end is far remote.
The men have struck against the principle
of M man holding two jobs in one mill,
and the mill owners decline to concede
this point. Five thousand men of the
A~malgamated Association have already
gone out, and the others are almost sure
to follow. This is unfortunate for all con-
cerned. and a disaster to the iron industry
which ought to have been averted by some
sort of compromise.

Manager Greene, of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, who is now in Helena
on business, should not be charged with
the wire troubles OF the Rocky Mountain
Company. He is too high minded q gentle
man to be a party to any measures OF this
sort to cripple a rival. He is doing all b
he can to popularize his very unpopular
company and is cheerful in the pursuit Of
his great work.

While the colonelcy of the Montana mi
litia is still undetermined on account of
the failure of Captain Reynolds to receive
his commission, we feel that Governor
Leslie and Adjutant General Turner will
do the right thing at the right time, for the
promotion of the service. They are act
ing advisedly, we are sure, in the Terrific.
rial interest.

As appears by our dispatches the Inter-
Tor Department, which seems to have no
other mission than to look after the alleged
interests of the %aborigine, under
the allotment of lands III severalty to
the redskins has granted the soldiers of the
republic who fought for it's preservation
16O acres each and to the Indians all oil
the rest of the public domain. This is in
happy harmony with the eastern idea of
civilizing the noble redman. The western
idea, on the contrary, is to furnish them
all of the frontier whisky they may want
which would soon solve the problem.
